First United Methodist of Sarasota is a vibrant church located in the heart of downtown Sarasota just a few blocks from Sarasota Bay. We are committed to loving God and loving the people of our community. The mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. A disciple is someone who is….. Inwardly Becoming More Like Jesus by Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit and Outwardly Living More Like Jesus by Practicing Holy Love.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here. Let’s worship together one Sunday soon. There are two in-person worship experiences each Sunday, a more intimate 8:30am service in the Chapel and an 11:00am service in our grand Sanctuary featuring a choir and pipe organ. Both offer a helpful and hope-filled message, uplifting music, and meaningful prayer. The 11:00am service is available online live and recorded at SRQworship.com.
